Death of an Artist - Game Thread

[Bozwevial]

[spoiler]Hmm, that sounds like it would be an odd-shaped greatsword, but sure. Just as an aside, they call them "axes" for a reason. [/spoiler]

[woodenbandman]

[spoiler]Well it's a greatsword with a 1.8 foot long wooden handle and a blade that's about 2 feet long and 1 and a half feet wide, and it's shaped kind of like an axe. 

In game statistics are nothing to get in the way of imagination![/spoiler]

Felix sniffs and says "Shall I bring you a keg with a hose attached to it, then?"

As she eats her cream puffs, Lucy wanders off to look for the entertaining couple again. She finds them arguing off somewhere, the woman screaming at her friend while he has no idea what exactly is up. With a terrifying expression on her face - that nobody sees because she's roughly on eye level with an average gnome - the girl whispers a single word. The word goes unheard in the commotion, but it resonates in the man's head - and in his clothing.

[spoiler]Baleful Utterance targetted on the guy's pants. Yeah, that guy. If the pants break, he will be dazed for 1 round. And, more importantly, deaf for 1 minute.

Let's see how much Lucy can screw this utterly irrelevant, random, nameless NPC over!

[woodenbandman]

"Dey haves them in kegs here? I didn't know dat!"

[PhaedrusXY]

"Oh I'm sure I can find you one. If it's drink you want, I'll make sure your mug is never empty."

He turns to some person you don't recognize who is scurrying by with a platter of hor'devours and says "You there, bring me a keg of ale from the ship."

The serving boy quickly hands off his platter to a nearby girl, and says "Yes Sir. Right away Sir." and then rushes off.

Felix then says "Anything else for you Good Master?"

[Bozwevial]

[spoiler]Who said he was irrelevant and nameless? [/spoiler]

Lucy's single word, though it goes unheard by the crowd, causes them to shiver, but the effects on the man are even more stunning. His trousers, which were (emphasis on this word) made of a fine cloth that seemed to absorb the light, seem to disintegrate. Nearby people begin to laugh, and the woman's face twitches into a leering smile. "So, the wizard you paid to enchant those pants evidently wasn't worth the gold, eh? What else were they supposed to do? You're washed up, and there's no point in talking to me any more. Nothing you can do will convince me to sign the contract now." The man looks entirely confused, partially because he has just recovered from a wave of severe dizziness that just passed over him but also because he has no idea what the woman is saying.

Alexi explodes in laughter, and drops his guitar pick as he begins slapping his knee. He composes himself and begins searching angrily for his guitar pick in the immediate area around him, only to find it after 2 minutes, sitting on his knee. He picks it back up and goes back to playing very fast.

[PhaedrusXY]

[spoiler]Knowledge: Local from Felix to see who the heck that dude is, and how much ass-kissing he's going to have to do to fix this...

1d20+10=18

If Felix doesn't know, Eddie does:
1d20+15=31

He might not give much of a crap, though...
Eddie = Metal. Felix = Not. [/spoiler]

[Agita]

As he laughs, Alexi can suddenly hear Lucy's playful voice in his head. Alexi, what's a contract? Then, she concentrates on the woman's presence in her mind, attempting to gauge her intelligence. The angry lady has caught her interest.

[spoiler]Using Mindsight to determine the woman's Int score. And while I'm at it, the guy's too.

[woodenbandman]

Alexi thinks: "It's when some asshole makes you give them everything that you make in exchange for them not kicking you out of their house."

[Agita]

Unsatisfied with Alexi's answer - mostly because she doesn't really understand it - Lucy decides to interrupt Lemmy in his flirting and ask him instead. What's a contract? In the meantime, she wonders if she should disintegrate some other choice bits of the unfortunate man's clothing as well.

Phaedrus:
[spoiler]Eddie (but not Felix) knows this much: The man is a contractor for House Cannith who goes by the name of Lynel Schmidt. He's one of their top agents, and usually only deals directly with very important clients. The fact that he was at an important public event with this woman is therefore quite interesting.[/spoiler]

[PhaedrusXY]

A voice speaks into the minds of Lemmy and Alexi. "The kid has stepped on some big toes. That guy is a top agent of House Cannith, and was likely trying to seal some kind of high powered deal for them. Want me to convince him and the woman to join us on the ship to try and smooth things over?"

The voice also speaks to Felix, and tells him to return to the ship immediately with "The 8". [spoiler]These are the 8 minions that are normally used in Metaconcerts.[/spoiler]

[woodenbandman]

"Oh dammit! Lucy mess up big time on this one! We can't let this go down like that, it's bad for business. We need to smooth this shit over if we wanna keep having work."

[PhaedrusXY]

[spoiler]Knowledge:Local to see who the chick is:
Eddie: 1d20+15=28[/spoiler]

[Bozwevial]

Phaedrus: [spoiler]Eddie is able to discern that the woman is a member of one of the most prominent families who inhabit the Skyway, the Harrisons.[/spoiler]

[BowenSilverclaw]

"Ow bugger...

Sorry girls, I have to take care of some business." Lemmy apologizes to the female groupies swarming around him as he makes his way over to Alexi.

"Mickey, time to leave the buffet table, leave some for the other guests as well, we've got some business to take care of." he says somewhat jokingly as he signals his Bugbear companion.

"And get the kid as well."



"Yes boss." the large Goblinoid replies as he puts down his plate of hors d'oevres [spoiler]I just know I misspelled that [/spoiler] and heads towards Lucy.

"Time to go kid, we need to clean up the mess you made." he says as he scoops her up and follows Lemmy and Alexi to the docking tower.

[spoiler]Mickey holds Lucy in his arms as you would do with your own kid, so in a non-hostile way. If Lucy tries to raise hell he'll grapple her though

In case I need a grapple check to keep Lucy in check: Grapple 34
Woot, natural 20

I'll try to make it look inconspicuous (or at least different from child molestation ) if I need to grapple: Bluff 15


Ow, and I cover her mouth if she tries to Bluff her way out [/spoiler]

[woodenbandman]

Alexi stands up thanks everyone for having a beer with him after the show, though the keg that he's drinking out of makes "Having a beer with alexi" a synonym for "committing suicide with alcohol poisoning", and indeed a few patrons have gone down that road and been escorted to the hospital.

Then he stumbles out after Micky and Lem.
